This refrigerator is designed for household use. Before using the product, ensure it is installed on a level surface and that all electrical and water connections are made according to local regulations. Keep the product running empty for 12 hours after installation before placing food inside.
Installation
- Location: Place the refrigerator on a flat, level surface. Maintain at least 5 cm of clearance from the ceiling, rear wall, and side walls. Keep it at least 30 cm away from heaters, stoves, and other heat sources, and 5 cm from electric ovens.
- Feet Adjustment: If the refrigerator is not balanced, adjust the front adjustable stands by rotating them left or right.
- Electrical Connection: Connect to a grounded socket conforming to the voltage, current, and frequency values on the type label. Do not use extension cords or multi-sockets.
- Water Connection: The water system should be connected to a cold water line only. If using a carboy, use the recommended water pump.
Operating the Product
- Indicator Panel: Use the indicator panel to set temperatures for the freezer and cooler compartments, activate functions like Rapid Cooling, Rapid Freezing, Vacation mode, and control the ice/water dispenser.
- Water and Ice Dispenser: Select between water, ice cubes, or fragmented ice using the display. Wait approximately 12 hours after installation before taking ice for the first time.
- Food Storage: Store food in sealed containers to prevent odours. Do not overfill the refrigerator to ensure proper air circulation.
- Energy Saving: Do not keep doors open for long periods. Defrost frozen foods in the cooler compartment to save energy.
Maintenance and Cleaning
- General Cleaning: Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Do not use sharp or abrasive tools, detergents, gas, gasoline, or alcohol. Use a mild solution of soap, water, and carbonate.
- Stainless Steel Surfaces: Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaning agent with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Odour Prevention: Clean the interior with carbonated water every 15 days. Keep food in sealed containers.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting service, check the following:
- Refrigerator not working: Check if the power plug is fully settled and the fuse is intact.
- Compressor not working: If there was a power failure, the compressor thermic safeguard may be triggered. Wait 6 minutes for it to restart.
- Condensation on side walls: Ensure doors are not opened frequently and food is stored in sealed containers.
- Ice dispenser issues: If ice does not come out, check for ice chunks in the reservoir and remove them.
